After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Lakers 96-94. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
